BOILER-STAND.

Application filed February 18, 1920.

T 0 all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, OLAF S. BURMAN, a citizen of the United States, residing at Minneapolis, in the county of Hennepin and State of Minnesota, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Boiler- Stands; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

My invention has for its object to provide an extremely simple and highly efficient stand for water boilers of the type commonly called range boilers, and to this end, it consists of the novel devices and combinations of devices hereinafterdescribed and defined in the claims.

In the accom )an in drawin s which illustrate the invention, like characters indicate like parts throughout the several views.

Referring to the drawings Figures 1 and 2 are fragmentary views, principally in elevation, showing a range boiler supported on the improved stand with some parts sectioned; and

Fig. 3 is a detail view partly in plan and partly in horizontal section taken on the line e 3 of Fig. 1. r

The improved stand 4:, as shown, is in the form of a single casting having a flanged supporting base 5, and a saucer-like flanged upper end'or top 6, on which is supported a range boiler 7. Formed in the body of the stand ff, near the top thereof, is a transverse opening 8 and a vertical cylindrical passageway 9, which extends centrally upward through the body of the stand 4: from the transverse opening 8 through the bottom of the saucer-like flange 6.

A horizontal cold-water pipe 10 has on its delivery end an elbow coupling 11, which extends into the opening 8, and it will be noted that said opening is of such size as to hold said elbow against horizontal swinging movement, but with freedom for a slight vertical movement. A nipple l2 completes the connection between the water supply 10 and the boiler 7. One end of this nipple 12 is screwed into a boss 13 on the bottom of the boiler 7 and its other end is screwed into the elbow connection 11. V

In mounting the boiler 7 on the stand l and connecting the water supply 10 thereto, the elbow connection 11 is inserted into the opening 8 and one end of the nipple 12is screwed into the boss 13 and boiler 7 The Specification of Letters Patent.

boiler 7 is'plaoed over the stand 4; andthe nipple 12 inserted into the passageway 9 by lowering said boiler until the lower end of the nipple 12 enters the upper end of the elbow 11. The boiler 7 is then turned to rotate the nipple l2 and screw the same into the elbow connection 11 and thereby draw the boiler 7 onto the saucer-like flange 6 connection 11 against the upper wall of the transverse opening 8, to securely hold the boiler 7 on the stand 4 and against tipping movement in respect thereto.'

The purpose of making the flange 6 in the form of a saucer is to afi ord a definite supporting flange on the stand 4 for the boiler 7 and also to afford clearance or a pocket for the boss 13.

The above described boiler stand, while extremely simple and of small cost to manufacture, is thought to be highly efiicient for the purpose had in view. Obviously, the construction of the stand is such as to make it easy to sweep around andkeep clean.

\Vhat I claim is:

1. The combination with a boiler, of a stand for supporting the boiler and provided with a transverse opening and a vertical passageway leading from said opening through the top of the stand, a pipe coupling extending into said opening, and a nipple connection secured to the boiler extending through said vertical passageway and having screw-threaded engagement with the pipe coupling.

2. The combination with a boiler, of a stand having a flanged base and a saucerlike top flange on which the boiler rests,

said stand being provided with a transverse opening and a vertical passageway leading from said opening through said top flange,

a pipe coupling extending into said opening and held against horizontalmovement, a, boss on the holler extending into the saucerlike top flange of the stand, and a nipple connection secured in said boss andvarranged
